MATLAB: Can’t I use the “bpipe” function from the Datafeed Toolbox on MATLAB R2014b

bloombergblpbpipeDatafeed Toolboxlinuxr2014b

I have recently installed MATLAB R2014b on a Linux system.  When I try to use the 'bpipe' function to open a connection to Bloomberg, I get the following error:
Undefined function or variable 'bpipe'.
I have verified that the toolbox is installed and I am licensed for it.  Why can't I use this function?
